HEROES
(by Match Lipka)

There was a good and importante aspect that I could learn in that article. It was the way to demostrate to people that you have solidarity   with them, and it is not necessary that you know them . One good example of this is when you read this article that talk about a man who risked everything to save Lisa Donath who was her body sprawled faredown  on the rails and yellings. He inmediately jumped down on the rails and He grabbed Lisa under her armpits and He manager to raise her to the platform. He saved her life. I think that It is a wonderful way to help people and we would try to apply it in our lives.
